What are GN trays?

GN trays are also known as gastronorm containers or GN containers. These are standardized containers that are manufactured according to the gastronorm (GN), which was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The great advantage of porcelain GN containers is that they can be combined to improve practical processes in the kitchen, save space and also make work easier for service staff. In addition, you can purchase Gastronorm containers in the desired size at any time.

Porcelain GN trays are available in various sizes and depths, following a standardized system. This system enables chefs, catering companies and restaurants to store food efficiently, prepare it quickly and present it attractively.

Versatile areas of application for porcelain catering containers in your kitchen

GN bowls made of porcelain are used in a variety of ways in professional kitchens and have become indispensable in many areas.

This is how porcelain gastronorm containers are used in professional establishments:

Storage of ingredients: Porcelain GN trays are used to store food in refrigerators and cold rooms.
Preparation and food presentation: chefs can use porcelain GN bowls for preparing ingredients or for the aesthetic presentation of dishes on buffets.
Keeping food warm: GN trays made of stainless steel or porcelain are heat-resistant and can therefore be used in warming cabinets or bain-marie systems to keep food warm.
Space-saving transportation: GN trays made of porcelain make it easier to transport food from the kitchen to the guest area thanks to their stackability.
Steam cooking: You can also use a porcelain bowl with lid for steaming food.

This is what the different sizes of porcelain bowls mean

If you want to buy porcelain gastronorm containers, the sizes are given in fractions such as GN containers 1/1 or GN trays 1/3. The different sizes of trays are standardized by the GN (Gastronorm) system, which is used in the catering and food industry worldwide. Each tray size has specific dimensions and is designed for specific purposes.

An overview of the different dimensions of porcelain GN trays:

GN 1/1 (530 mm x 325 mm)
This size corresponds to a full-size format and is therefore the largest porcelain dish according to the gastronorm. It is ideal for storing large quantities of food or for cooking roasts or larger pieces of meat. 1/1 Gastronorm containers are also often placed on the buffet to allow guests to serve themselves.
GN 1/2 (325 mm x 265 mm)
This size corresponds to half of a GN 1/1 container. These porcelain bowls are versatile and are ideal for presenting side dishes, vegetables, salads or desserts on buffets.
GN 1/3 (325 mm x 176 mm)
These porcelain GN trays are shallower and therefore ideal for serving smaller side dishes, sauces or soups at buffets. They are also used for storing various ingredients.
GN 2/4 (530 mm x 162 mm)
These porcelain trays are long and narrow. They are ideal for storing baguettes, sandwiches or finger food at buffets.
GN 2/8 (325 mm x 132 mm)
2/8 porcelain dishes are particularly narrow and flat. This makes them ideal for serving spices, herbs or small side dishes at buffets.

What are the advantages of GN porcelain bowls?

In addition to stainless steel GN containers, you can also buy gastronorm containers made of high-quality porcelain. A decisive advantage is the high-quality and elegant appearance - this means you can also place the GN containers on the table in upscale restaurants. The elegant design of the white porcelain gastronorm containers blends harmoniously into your decor.

Porcelain is a high-quality material that is known for its durability and longevity. The smooth surface makes porcelain gastronorm containers very easy to clean. The material is also tasteless and therefore does not affect the taste of the food stored in the porcelain GN container. Porcelain bowls are heat-resistant. This means you can also cook your dishes directly in the gastronorm container without having to transfer them again in a further step.

GN porcelain bowls have natural insulating properties. The temperature of hot food is maintained for longer and you can also serve soups in a Gastronorm container.
